[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 84225, member: 2"] Great time to put in that comment Colin! :rofl: Just by the little discussion and to throw some fire on this topic, so, a car company gives me a car that makes more power and gets better mileage and tunes itself to cheat the emission test so I can have a car that makes more power and gives me better mileage? I don't see a huge problem from the consumer end except for thinking that you're driving a car that doesn't pollute just to find out it pollutes more than expected. Honestly, if I had a VW, I wouldn't care. They state that the tailpipe emissions are 10 to 40 times that of the acceptable level, but they don't mention what the level is. Manufacturers have been having to meet stricter and stricter emissions goals for 30 years now. I bet 10 to 40 times the amount of pollution is still cleaner than diesels 10 - 15 years ago and is still a relatively clean car to drive. If they really wanted to clean up the air, they would be way better off making anything older than 15 years unlicensable and taking the old (Daily driven) cars off the road. For my sake and the sake of every car enthusiast out there I hope they never do this but it seems like they are focusing on a tree instead of the forest. I hate to see stuff like this and hope they could make exceptions for enthusiasts should something like this happen here: [URL]http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/paris-moves-ban-most-polluting-vehicles-its-roads[/URL] And: [URL]http://driving.ca/auto-news/news/study-finds-25-per-cent-of-cars-create-the-most-pollution[/URL] [/QUOTE]
